Have you ever noticed how people change when they eat ice cream?
Today I was walking behind one man, he was walking slow and seemed to be actually seeing the beauty of the day. I thought that is an "ice cream walk." I was right,he had an ice cream cone. Then it struck me how when one gets an ice cream in their hand, they slow down. They lick and lick, and mosey on. Ice cream slows people down. It seems to allow them to stop for a moment from the rush of life and enjoy just for a few licks the simplicity and little pleasures in life.
There is a saying, "Stop and smell the roses." But maybe we could adjust that to, "Have an ice cream, slow down, and enjoy the day."
What do you say?
